OpNext 637nm diodes

Had partial success with it this ......
I made it up.. U likey ?

Very much so ... it has been prodding the grey cells ever since I read it in your post ! LOL
Seems to describe "onomatapaically" a temporary disturbance from a source external to a resonator which somehow affects the internal resonance for a possibly limited finite period (read ...clouting someone with a guitar or similar) .
Mathswise, the resonation would have a total (sigma) sum of zero but only after the entire event has expired (maybe have to substitute the guitar for a piano to ensure expiry...LOL).

Nuff bollocks for now!

lol.

(this was actually a response to the O.P. who wondered if anybody has built a module with said LD) ..

My answer is YES I dun dunnitt.

Whatever your smoking dude I want some ! :O

Ok, beam-pix, as promised. I was gonna blow smoke in the air, but I wanted to keep my lenses clean, so photos with just the air particulates .. :] 200+ mW of 637 hehehe ... I'm gonna quadruple it. soon. .
(.. and yes, I know .. I gotta clean up my "lab" .. ) .. but that would take away laser-time.





The waste-beam that you see on the bottom photo (far-right) was necessary in order to acheive a decent beam profile. I'm losing about 35mW of precious red ..

@ Stevo-o (pre.pics).

Naaah.. you would just end up with dirty lenses .......

....... but maybe much better beam pics ...

Cheers

Just how goddam FAT is that beam (at aperture) ..

Cat, ur a nut. Sounds like u get drunker than me at any given nite .. lol.

-edit- just saw your question at the bottom of your post . Answer: Small enough for big scanner mirrors

I'm going to start a new thread about scanners with LARGE mirrors. I'm jest asking for an ass-chewing , ain't I ?

[steve-o]

Returning to the thread.
Where I can get OpNext 637nm diodes?
Other than from OpNext (the single mode ones).
Thanks and cheers,
Ed

Avnet express carries them for 125 usd (for the 6338mg) and I think $170 something for the 63133dg (lower power single mode).

Rumor has it there will be a set of scanners out with bigger mirrors; could be out within a year.

Thanks for the good news ! Who's the mfg?

[taggalucci]

My guess is Pangolin

Hi Steve

Thanks for the info.
